Bridal Shower

My brother-in-law and his fiance were in town from Texas just a few weekends ago.  This cake was for a surprise shower thrown in their honor.  The colors for the shower were black, white, and, teal.

The top tier was chocolate cake and the bottom was french vanilla.  Both were filled and iced with buttercream and covered in fondant.

Tangled Tower

This was for a 6-year-old girl's birthday party.  She loves the movie Tangled and all things Rapunzel, so that is the inspiration for the cake.

Chocolate cake filled and iced in buttercream.  The tower is made from cake cones, sugar cones, and cereal treats with fondant and modeling chocolate decorations.  The trees are sugar cones.

Too Many Cookies!

I wanted to make something special to bring to my parents' house over the holidays.  After searching several different sites online, I found the inspiration for this cake.  Loved it!

The chimney is chocolate and vanilla layers filled and iced with buttercream.  Santa is chocolate cake covered in fondant with cereal treat legs and boots.  The accents (bricks and belt) are also fondant.

Owl Cupcakes

A friend of mine has a 2 year old niece who had her heart set on Minnie Mouse cupcakes for her upcoming birthday...that is until she saw pictures from her 1st birthday.  She realized, to her horror, that she had Minnie Mouse last year.  She quickly changed her tune and decided that she wanted OWLS.

Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes iced in buttercream.  The owl's are also made with Oreos and M&Ms.

Christmas Gift

This was for a friend from work for a holiday party.

Red velvet cake filled and iced in buttercream and then covered in fondant.  The bow is gum paste.

Meet Henry the Turkey

My mother-in-law requested a cake for Thanksgiving and this cute little guy just came to life.  When she came to pick up the cake, she decided that he looked like a Henry.

Butter pecan cake filled and iced in buttercream and covered in chocolate marshmallow fondant.  The neck/head/face and feathers are made of modeling chocolate.

Birthday Gift

My friend Jess (another Tennessee fan) wanted something orange and white for her birthday cake.

A Townhouse Divided

I attended the University of Georgia. My husband attended the University of Tennessee.  As you can imagine, things around here get pretty interesting the second weekend in October.  This year, we had our friends over to watch the game with us and, of course, we needed a cake for the occasion.  This was my first time carving cake.  The helmets were from two 8" rounds.

The field was vanilla cake colored to be a red and orange swirl. It is filled and iced in buttercream. The helmets were a chocolate cake filled and iced in buttercream and covered in fondant with fondant accents.  The face masks are modeling chocolate.  Go dawgs!

Stars and Stripes and Fireworks

I had some family in from out of town over the Fourth of July...perfect excuse to bake a big cake!

Vanilla layers colored to be red, white, and blue, all filled and iced in buttercream and covered in fondant.  The accents on the cake are all fondant as well.

Phoenix Suns

My husband is a huge Phoenix Suns fan, so I knew his birthday cake needed to be something basketball.
